The Fiji Table Tennis Association has successfully completed the 2017 Open and Para competition.

They reached the climax after five gruelling days of competition with Felix Sung winning the Fiji Men’s Open Singles and Fiji Men’s Doubles titles for the first time.

Association president, Anthony Ho, was impressed with the performance of players like Sung.

Sung beat the Pacific’s number one and two- time Olympian, Yoshua Shing 11-8, 11-9, 4-11, 6-11, 9-11, 11-7 and 11-8 in a seven set thriller that had the crowd on their feet.

“Sung raced to a two set lead but Shing fought back with some tremendous attacks and counter attacks to win the next three sets only for Sung to re-gather and win the last two sets,” Ho said.

“The big crowd was treated to some champagne table tennis and applauded each player when they made some amazing shots to win crucial points.”

Sung also partnered with the country’s rising star, 11-year-old, Vicky Wu to capture the Men’s Doubles title where they beat Shing and Young Jae Park 9-11, 11-9, 14-12 and 11-8.
